According to the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, it had not received any official correspondence regarding the report of tampering with the 2024 federal budget tables.
Hadi Al-Salami, a member of the committee, stated: Regarding the issue of manipulation or a problem in the 2024 budget tables, the House of Representatives has not yet received any official correspondence from the relevant executive authorities.
He mentioned that “if the issue is proven, the Iraqi judiciary is present to provide evidence and proof to the competent courts so that the judiciary can have its say on this matter” and that “if the issue is proven.”
Al-Salami reiterated, “so far, there is nothing official for the House of Representatives and everything that has been circulated in the media, and we have not seen any priorities, so this matter remains in doubt unless there is evidence and proof on the subject.”
According to “Euphrates News,” a well-informed source, a group of representatives intend to approach the Federal Integrity Commission to request a thorough investigation into the tampering with the budget tables and to refer the matter to the judiciary.
